me: yeah idk about tumblr... obviously trans women are discriminated against in general, but also it's really easy for digitial superstition to spread online. on twitter there's all kinds of myths about the algorithm and it's really difficult to tell what is and isn't true, so i dunno if anyone can firmly say exactly how/why it is that trans women are being discriminated against here
the fucking ceo of tumblr: i am a public idiot with skin thinner than luxuriously-sliced ham and i'm threatening to call the fbi over a looney tunes-ass death wish made by a trans woman

Yeah
Literally me and a friend were discussing this a few days ago and our conclusion was that it was a case of tumblr's auto moderation features being way too easy to exploit as part of a harassment campaign...

Then the CEO comes out to make it a weird and personal thing of him against this one user for some reason???

Yeah they were a contractor
This whole thing was a pr nightmare I can't believe a ceo would just admit that in such a throwaway manner as some kind of brag about not being transphobic

Like, tumblr users have speculated on a transphobic mod team for ages and for all we know this contractor was either a fluke who got kicked after two weeks and never did anything substantial (but ceo still bragged) Or they were allowed to run riot for months/over a year (and the ceo should've been telling us in apology not an "I'm not transphobic" post
